Entered Mediterranean Sea from Red sea via Suez Canal. Highly migratory species. Some authors recognize a single worldwide species, Istiophorus platypterus (Shaw & Nodder 1792) but we follow Nakamura 1990 (Ref. 10820) retaining the usage of Istiophorus platypterus for the Indo-Pacific sailfish and Istiophorus albicans for the Atlantic sailfish in recognition of the differences between them.

Spawning occurs with males and females swimming in pairs or with two or three males chasing a single female (probably a mating behavior). The ripe ovarian eggs are about 0.85 mm in diameter and have a single oil globule; there are no structures on the vitalize membrane and the egg is transparent. Eggs shed from captured female in the Indian Ocean averaged 1.304 mm in diameter. Nakamura, I. 1985 FAO species catalogue. Vol. 5. Billfishes of the world.

Highly migratory species residing above the thermocline. Feeds on fishes (small tunas, anchovies, mackerel, mullet, etc.), crustaceans and cephalopods. Feeding mostly occurs diurnally. Solitary, but has been observed to form loose schools of up to 30 individuals (Ref. 9773). Abundance and distribution is correlated with the seasonal movements of the water isotherm.
